What is an air scrubber?

An air scrubber...that sounds like quite a fancy piece of equipment! Simply put, an air scrubber is just a filtration system for the air. Much like you would use a filter at home to strain water and remove particles, the air scrubber does the same on an atmospheric scale. A lot of times after either a fire or mold we need to set these up to make the air breathable and safe as best we can. The air scrubber uses a HEPA filter, which can remove up to 99.7% microns from the atmosphere around it. This filter shown in the picture is removing a heavy smoke smell and making the air easier to breathe for everyone!
